It Takes Lots Of People To Remake Resident Evil 2

While the 2019 Resident Evil 2 game is a remake of the 1998 release, lots and lots of people are needed to make the game happen. Wonder how many? At least 800!

That’s according to a recent NHK special on Capcom, as pointed out by Alex Aniel:

The most notable tidbit from last week’s Capcom NHK broadcast is that there were a whopping 800 (eight-hundred) people on #RE2 remake’s development. That includes programmers, photogrammetry models, mo-cap, etc. That’s more than the roughly 600 who worked on RE6. pic.twitter.com/zsmIUvGvLv

In the wake of community and political pressure following the livestreaming of the horrific terrorist attacks at Christchurch on Friday, Australian ISPs have started blocking some sites used to rehost footage of the livestream, including the infamous 8chan image board.
